19319766London: Jonathan Cape 1931. First edition. 8vo 158pp. Signed in full by Mitchison on the ffep. Publisher's patterned cloth boards spine lettered in red. Former owner's bookplate to ffep spine toned. Very good. <br /> <br /> Early collaborative play co-written by socialist novelist and feminist thinker Naomi Mitchison and Lewis Gielgud writer and humanitarian worker. Set amid revolutionary tensions the play follows characters forced to choose between loyalty love and ideology where "freedom" comes at the expense of personal compromise and strained relationships. Mitchison's influence brings a notable emphasis on women as active participants in political life rather than bystanders and reflects her ongoing engagement with questions of political freedom socialism and gender. The book itself is unaccountably scarce in the trade and represents an early dramatic work from Mitchison written during her most politically engaged period. Jonathan Cape unknown

022563Vienna/Wien: Austria Tabak/Die Damen presumed Publishers. Spiral Bound. Very Good. Folio. ca 1990. Spiral bound 19 ½ by 20 ½ inches. 15 glossy sheets and cardboard backing. A conceptual art piece created by Die Damen and commissioned by the Austrian tobacco company Austria Tabak. Die Damen was a feminist art collective founded in 1987 by ONA B Evelyne Egerer Birgit Jürgenssen and Ingeborg Strobl. Their work consisted mostly of performances and staged pieces that highlighted gender stereotypes and roles exaggerating their sexuality through costumes/clothing that were associated with gender stereotypes. Most of their work was based on performance or action thus little paper artwork was produced. As the Generali Foundation website states better than we can: "Their themes were seemingly banal but in reality subversive. Taking an ironic perspective they exaggerated the predominant clichés pertaining to gender roles. . Body language and gestures as well as the design and styling of outfits and accessories were the important forms of impression in these actions. DIE DAMEN usually performed wearing identical costumes. They always emphasized their feminine sexuality by using various clichés such as classic business dress or kitchen aprons thus presenting a socially critical view of the passive roles traditionally apportioned to women. . DIE DAMEN also addressed everyday domestic scenes at home and the tough reality of down-trodden housewives. With their staged parodies and caustic humor they reflected back the male gaze and also supremely demonstrated the "cool" distance typical of the 1980s." This calendar was commissioned by Austria Tabak creating a subversive look at advertising and women depicted in advertising. Rather than portray glamourous scenes of smoking and cigarettes DIE DAMEN subtly displayed evidence of smoking or cigarettes among scenes of housework and everyday activities. VERY GOOD condition. Minor bumping and curling at the corners. Austria Tabak/Die Damen, presumed Publishers unknown

With a few illustrations. Perhaps a one off sort of underground press publication issued by the Detroit chapter of the National Organization of Women. According to the editorial on the front the South End a paper published at Wayne State University published an article on women and issues facing them in American society but spent most of the article discussing women's sex live and their relationships to family and embraced and perpetuated stereotypes as well. Thus the Detroit NOW published this rebuttal paper including essays and letters highlighting the vast inequality in America between men and women. NOW is a feminist organization working for women's rights and equality. It was founded in 1966. GOOD condition. Paper very brittle with many tears along the extremities. Horizontal fold crease present. Moderate toning. Some creasing and wrinkling. Detroit Chapter of N.O.W., Publisher unknown

1973List3007United States 1973. Single photograph measuring 8 x 10 inches. Manuscript captions verso reading “Florence Kennedy / Fla / Womens Lib†and “FLORYNCE KENNEDY / WOMEN’S RIGHTS†with stamps “PHOTO BY AKIRA SUWA†and “MAR4-1973â€. Near Fine. Florynce Kennedy 1916–2000 was an African American activist lecturer and lawyer. She attended Columbia University as a pre-law student graduating in 1948; she was rejected from Columbia Law School but the decision was reversed when she threatened legal action for racial and gender discrimination. Kennedy went into private practice in 1954; she represented Billie Holliday’s and Charlie Parker’s estates and defended Black Panthers H. Rap Brown and Assata Shakur and radical feminist Valerie Solanas. She founded The Feminist Party which nominated Shirley Chisholm for president sued the Catholic Church lectured on issues of race and gender and organized and participated in numerous protests.<br /> <br /> Shortly after this photograph was taken in 1973 Kennedy organized the National Black Feminist Organization. The group first met in New York City and its first attendees included Faith Ringgold Ringgold’s daughter Michele Wallace Margaret Sloan-Hunter and other prominent African American feminist activists. In the photograph Kennedy wears a pin reading “DEFEAT THE FETUS FETISHISTSâ€. Abortion rights were an important cause for Kennedy; the pin is likely related to the October 1973 protests by the Women’s National Abortion Action Coalition against the New York City Archdiocesan “Respect Life Week†where the slogan appeared on many protestors’ signs.1<br /> <br /> 1 “Respect Life Week Stresses the Unborn†The New York Times October 3 1972 22. unknown
16123New York 1870s. Without printer or date. 31pp. 8vo. Drophead title. In good condition lightly-aged no wraps disbound. Excessively scarce: two copies on COPAC at Lambeth Palace and the London School of Economics and only one more copy apart from surrogates on OCLC WorldCat at the Ohio History Convention. This copy like the two on COPAC lacking the title leaf which according to the WorldCat entry gives the place of publication as New York and the full title as 'No female suffrage! Attila: theology logic anatomy physiology and philology united to establish the truism that the woman is no human being'. From the style not written by a native English speaker. The author names himself as 'Attila' on the first page and the work is on the outer reaches of misogyny. Final paragraph p.31: 'However much indignation this our work may provoke we believe to have conscientiously acted according to our motto: "Every being must be instrumental in the progress of truth." And we really believe to have told the truth. The woman is no human being like man she has therefore no claims to "usurp power over man" and claim female suffrage. Let her remain the helpmate of man attend to her domestic duties and she will from her beginning to her end be man's blessing.' [New York, 1870s.] Without printer or date. paperback
102381<p>Amsterdam 1973 - 1974. Size: 215 x 275 cm. 17; 23; 22 10 pp. Illustrated in b/w. Stencilled. Stapled.<br /><br />This short-lived radical feminist magazine was published from 1972 to 1974. Only six issues saw the light of day. It is an important source for the history of feminism and gender studies. Copies are extremely rare and complete sets impossible to find. I have only found three complete sets in libraries all in Amsterdam. Paarse September conisted of four women who became soon famous for claiming in the first issue of their magazine that feminists that stayed heterosexual were not real feminists and could even be considered anti-feminists. Their motto was "Being lesbian is a political choice" Lesbisch zijn is een politieke keuze. After six issues Paarse September stopped in 1974 because they thought their ideas were well known by then.</p>
